Navigation with keyboard support
Docking Manager has the BrowsingKey property which can be used for this purpose. To Navigate through other docking windows, assign any key listed in the Properties Grid to this property. The following code snippet illustrates this functionality.
C#
//This will set key F12 this.dockingManager1.BrowsingKey = System.Windows.Forms.Keys.F12 ; //This will set Ctrl+Shift+F12 as browsing key dockingManager1.BrowsingKey=((System.Windows.Forms.Keys)(Enum.Parse(typeof(Keys), "F12, Shift, Control")));
VB
'This will set key F12 Me.dockingManager1.BrowsingKey = System.Windows.Forms.Keys.F12 'This will set Ctrl+Shift+F12 as browsing key Me.DockingManager1.BrowsingKey = CType(Enum.Parse(typeof(Keys), "F12, Shift, Control"),System.Windows.Forms.Keys)
